    That is why I still disable javascript, and the like by default. I just answered what makes me instantly suspicious. There is a level of suspiciousness as a baseline already.

      I'm not disagreeing with you, I simply answered with my own variation. There are sites that are consistently unreliable, like breitbart.com that when I see someone post a link I automatically assume it misrepresents the truth at best and outright lies at worst. I maintain a suite of malware blockers in my browser to guard against sites that are trying to target me for attack as opposed to partisan manipulation.

        Ah gotcha. Carry on then. Though in retrospect, my short list of trusted publications on news/articles is much easier to maintain then ones I assume to be biased, guess that is part of the "baseline", and why I assumed you meant something else. EDIT: And even with the "trusted" sources, they still get double checked to see if they are being called out for issues.
